About the Item

18th century, quarter-hour console clock. Made circa 1780 in England or Austria. Very richly decorated both inside and outside - please pay attention first of all to the silver plated application with the figure of Saint Nepomuk or the richly engraved back plate of the mechanism! Clock in a wooden, blackened housing. It is supported on four legs in the form of eagle's wings and claws made of gilded bronze. The housing is glazed on four sides, topped with a profiled canopy with a handle richly decorated with floral motifs. In the corners, four pinnacles in the form of flames are made of gilded bronze. The door and sides of the casing are decorated with delicate brass openwork. A layered brass shield, richly decorated with openwork applications. At the top of the dial, there is a silver plated appliqué with the figure of Saint Nepomuk. Around the saint's head are five brass stars that symbolize the five martyrdom virtues. Roman hour scale, engraved (!), minute scale with Arabic numerals. Above the minute axis there is a crescent-shaped hole in which you can see a polished mirror mounted to the pendulum - thanks to this you can see whether the mechanism is working or should be turned on (rare!) The comb-type mechanism of chiming hours and quarters of an hour striking quarters of an hour and a quarter on two bells. Pulling the string hanging under the clock starts the repetition (repeating the last quarter and hour marked). To the right and left of Nepomuk there are clues that can be used to turn off the beating for the night. In addition, the clock mechanism is equipped with a hook for securing - the pendulum locks for transport. Short, light pendulum without a pendant with a brass rod. Pear-shaped brass pendulum lens. Steel, openwork, blued hands with a floral motif, beautifully hand-finished with rounded surfaces. (/ Bluing / - hot-dip applied anti-corrosive coating). At the bottom of the dial, beyond 6 o'clock, there is a window with a visible calendar dial. There are no signs of excessive wear or improper repairs (e.g. sticking or narrowing bearings with hammers).
